AOL.com • • health
Key Points:
- Alzheimer's disease affects nearly six million Americans, with cases expected to triple by 2060, but diet and gut microbiome health may play a key role in prevention.
- Fatty fish rich in omega-3s, leafy greens high in vitamins K and B, berries with flavonoids, nuts like walnuts and almonds, eggs for choline, olive oil, and turmeric are top foods recommended to support brain health and reduce Alzheimer's risk.
- Experts advise consuming one to two servings of fatty fish weekly, daily servings of leafy greens and berries, and moderate amounts of nuts and eggs to maintain cognitive function.
- Limiting intake of red meat, full-fat dairy, unnecessary iron supplements, and alcohol is important as these can contribute to brain inflammation and cognitive decline.
- Adopting a whole-foods diet rich in these brain-healthy foods starting in middle age may significantly reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease later in life.
